Old Lutherans
Originally this name was applied to Lutherans who refused to join in the
Prussian Union. There was a similar reaction against unionism and rationalism in
Saxony. Old Lutherans continued in Germany and Poland under various names
including Altlutheraner; Breslauer Synode; Verein der
evangelisch-altlutherischen Kirchengemeinden; Evangelisch-luth. Kirche in
Westpolen; Evangelisch Kirche in Preussen, later & Evangelisch-luth. Kirche in
Altpreussen, and since 1945 Evangelisch-lutherische (altlutherische) Kirche. The
name Old Lutherans was also applied to confessional Lutherans who emigrated to
America 1838–48 under such men as J.A.A. Grabau and M. Stephan.

Describes how the 15 ships that carried Old Lutheran emigrants in 1843, 11
sailed from Hamburg and four from Stettin. Of those that traveled to
Hamburg, most went by riverboats on inland waterways. One group from Plöwen
in Kreis Randow traveled overland on wagons. Each riverboat accommodated
between 120 and 150 passengers, and were driven by one large sail mounted on
a sturdy mast beam. There was room for sleeping and cooking aboard.
